They taught me the value of experimenting and getting creative with practice methods, and so that is definitely one of the things I try to pass along to each of my students. As musicians, we spend a lot of time in the practice room, and so I always want students to enjoy learning. That day-to-day exploration is one of the best parts of music. It’s what makes music so personal and unique, and giving my students the ability to explore and enjoy that journey is one of the things I strive to do in every lesson. Read More

If not, then I like to start with my own supplemental activities (flash cards, worksheets, playing by rote, etc) and build up to using a book. Read More
